After seeing the Pirates of the Caribbean last summer, I decided to try my hand at a giant Kraken. Not having pirate lego at all, and an over abundance of Vikings, Dwarves and Centaurs, I decided to let it all go wild! Woot!

I have included a few animations of the tentacles of doom in action as well as a nifty elevator which my son enjoys. And new this time around are some sounds of battle to get you immersed in the environment!

What a great MOC! I like the motion in the tentacles, very well done. The whale tail, and the ship in general is wonderful. I like your back story and all those dwarves. I will probably post again after I get more time to pour over the details.

I like this alot. Your extensive use of SNOT makes for a very clean look, rare in larger MOCs. I also like what you've done with your ship. The original was quite boring. The armoured hull you've given it, while not particularly realistic, looks fantastic. It actually looks like a Roman Galley (which again, is quite cool).

As others have said, your Kraken is truly remarkable. A genuine highlight for a fantastic MOC. It is rare that we see MOCs of such remarkable quality, so seeing your work posted here is truly appreciated.

The Kraken took awhile to get the right look between the transfer of the main body mass to the tentacles. I still think it could use some smoothing out, but I basically ran out of black pieces

As far as the Ship, it is quite massive, and I think the pictures I Included did not show the full scope of the ship. It has a full lower deck for the slaves. The head and tale portion was important in making it look overall like a mighty mythical boat of destruction. I may post some more pics of the ship this weekend since people have been asking for such...

I have never made any castle-theme dios before, so I was a little at odds on the landscaping. The main thing I would change is the rock wall itself. I think that it doesn't have enough detail and looks fairly uniform. All the BURPs came from some Harry Potter sets
